We’re Pouring at A Dram Come True

May 13 Join us for the 14th Annual “A Dram Come True”: A whisky fundraiser like no other.

Join the Vancouver Writers Fest for an extraordinary evening of scotch tastings in luxurious surroundings. Now in its 14th year, A Dram Come True offers aficionados, modest fans and the uninitiated alike the opportunity to taste whisky from dozens of distilleries across the globe, with varieties curated by The President of the West Coast Whisky Society. PURCHASE TICKETS.

We’re pouring a selection of vodkas and whisky! Even the Glenesk 30 year old! (not exactly as pictured) Available for purchase in Victoria! BCLDB

Sample single malts from Canada, Scotland, Ireland, India and beyond while you speak with the knowledgeable and passionate tasting experts at each table. Sip your favourite dram as you stroll through the exquisite halls of Hycroft: a stunning Edwardian mansion in lush gardens that overlook the city.

For those looking to sample more than just the water of life (or uisge beatha as its known), wine from the Okanagan region and spirits from local Vancouver distilleries will be on hand, along with tasting stations of charcuterie and cheese.

Surprises throughout the evening, and a silent auction with an extensive variety of items, will keep even regular attendees guessing with delight. And, with every ticket purchase, you support the Vancouver Writers Fest and our year-round initiatives to bring transformative ideas and authors to the city.

Buy your tickets today to reserve your place for this remarkable event. Each ticket includes access to all whisky tasting tables, plus hors d’oeuvres and snacks throughout the evening.

For $25 (in addition to the price of the main event), enjoy early access to the tasting bars (45 minutes before the doors open) along with select whiskies. There are only 40 tickets available, so don’t wait to purchase!
